Arina was a bit startled as another new comer had spoke to her. "Oh, uh, I can take care of that miss." She said politely, "My apologies, I hadn't been here for a few days. I didn't realize we'd had another new guest." She said moving over to the book and drawer of keys she pulled one out ."You'll be in room 209" She said with a smile, "If you could just sign right here." She added holding out a pen to the roster, pointing next to the number 209.

Cat woke up in Rin's bed. She groaned softly looking around. She ran a comb through her short blond hair before slipping out of the bed. She changed, and made her way down the stairs looking in on the scene in the kitchen. "Don't want to get involved in that." she said to herself and moved towards the front door. Though the other cat girl made her take a second look. The lady seemed familiar. "hey, cat woman, what's your name? You look...kinda familiar, I don't know why...but you do." she said leaning against the wall next to the door.

Gabriel

Gabriel eyes narrowed staring at Dante. Something was in him...what though..
"Dante...its Gabriel...Gabriel!"
He wanted to slapp this fucking dazed man, who was acting more like a child right now. He knew that wouldnt help though. He simply picked him up and placed him on his back. Maybe a run would help, running always help Gabriel calm his inner demons, maybe it would help Dante. Once he had Dante securely on his back he started to run, almost invisible to anyone who tried to see. He kept running and running, listening closely for any reactions from Dante. He yelled mostly to himself.
"Dante you're stronger then this! Fight it! Push it away! Focus on NOW!"
He kept running...and running...

Rin walked downstairs. Tonight in an even odder mood something was not right it felt like something was coming for him. He could feel it he was ancy and unnerved. He sat down on the couch unsure of anything at this point.

There was a loud clack clack of iron or something of that material boots crunching against the stone path. The figure looked up at the inn. He could smell it the copy was here the one that needed to be dealt with. He sighed inside the helm and headed closer for the door. He opened the door rather hard and looked seeing him right there out in the open. The man in the armor was the same height as him, but was wearing a helmet in the shape of a dragons head. There were a pair of armored wings coming out of the back of his head. His armor the color of sapphire and had spiked shoulder plates, gloves, knees, and feet. He had a spear and a scythe on his back. The spear was made of the same thing of his armor and the blade was in the shape of a reverse teardrop it also has 7 round sockets along the shaft. The scythe however was the opposite made of a dark obsidian and had the same sockets. The blade was almost a blood red in color.He looked at Rin and said in a commanding voice that had a hint of sorrow in it. "You know why I'm here I need my life back little clone." He pulled off the helm the loud hiss of air escaping could be heard and it revealed a face that looked just like Rin's save the white wings in the back of his head.

Rin stood up and screamed. "No no your supposed to be dead. They told me it was my turn not yours to live. You are not supposed to be here." He had pure terror in his eyes as he looked at this armored man staring him down.

( R-.. Running!? O-o? )

Dante didn't register anything at all. He felt himself being lifted up by a strong man- strong like his father. Piggy back... his dad used to carry him like this all the time. His body relaxed as his head laid on his father's shoulder, his dazed eyes closed to hide the horrifying sights. Bodies; everywhere, His father's corpse was practically stomping on them so uncaring. His father... he... wouldn't do that, would he?

He opened his eyes and looked up a moment to the trance wound from the gun. Mindlessly he started fingering at the hole. "Does it hurt...?" He started before petting the spot absentmindedly. "Being shot like that..."

As the door swung open Cat jumped back, away from it. Her hear racing "ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?" she yelled "That door could have squashed...." She trailed off. "Oh no.." she said her hands moving to her head. An onslaught of memories started to wave into her. She let out a little whimper as her head felt like it was splitting in two.

The armored man gripped his scythe and looked at Rin. "I'm sorry this is not your time. I am sorry for what they did to you. May you find rest in the afterlife, and with it your real life. The man charged and cut Rin's head clean off with one slash holding out his left hand. "Death's reaper." The spell absorbed Rin's soul and put it into the weapon. He turned around and looked at Cat. "I know this may be hard to believe Cat, but it is me." He said softly he still has not given his name out.

((Oh yes that just happened))

Gabriel

Gabriel felt Dante playing with his hair and sighed, the fucker was hallucinating, wonderful. But the words made him think...he was shot once...by his father many years ago...It was when he was turned into a vampire...and he hunted his father down...He had been inside his father's house. Thinking he was a burgalar his father shot him, the bullet getting lodged in his shoulder. It hurt...badly...but not as badly as the beatings he'd gotten as a child..not as bad as the beatings he witnessed his mother get.
"Yes...It hurts.."
He closed his eyes, still running and sensing every obstacle and avoiding it as he ran.
"Dante please...wake up...for me.."
Still running, he let some energy flow into Dante, to help him fight this..thing..

Rain watched as Dante was taken, frowning to herself. She wasn’t sure this was wise…but she did know that something had felt wrong with Emeriya. Turning she searched the other woman out, stepping out a window to find her on the roof. She walked to slightly behind her, her eyes on the back of the raven womans head. “ARe you okay?




Thank you” Amoni said softly with a slight bow of her head, signing in easily then taking her key. She slipped it into one of her wrapped gloves. It was common for her to hide small things among her person, a silly trait but a common one as she’d had to leave places in a hurry before. She might have said more when she heard a voice, her ear twitching slightly.

“My name is Amoni Duygun….and you are?” She asked quietly with a bow, her eyes tracing over the other woman. She did indeed look familiar but for a moment she couldn’t place her. Her mother had sent her father pictures of little Amoni before her death, and from that she’d tracked her father but only found a few pictures. Perhaps it was her resemblance to one of the cat demons…

Before she could say anything further, however, both Rin and Cat would react. She looked to the stranger, watching the fear and bothered memory. She stepped backwards but she was already identifying the metal of the wizards armor. She would not interfere…well not yet….not till its dangerous. Seeing the man remove the others head she nearly growled, stepping back. This…. Something was very wrong.

Cat looked up at the man "You better clean your mess up." she said absentmindedly "the lady owner wouldn't appreciate it if you don't" she added then looked to Amoni. "It was from pictures..." She said softly. "Daddy had lots of pictures, with a girl who looked like you. I believe it was you, but it was so long ago, I don't remember the name." She admitted. She shrugged her shoulders "My name's Cat." she said then looked to the mess on the floor. "Yeah, clean up on Isle 5." she joked sarcastically.

Arina, upon seeing the decapitation, fainted.

Emeriya

Emeriya's gaze was still looking down, she was still thinking...wondering if pain would free her. She didnt hear the voice behind her, but she stepped foward, balancing in the raingutter of the roof. The pain would help...it had to...the previously asked words came into her head, but not as Rain's...as her mothers...she whispered her response.
"..I will be.."
With those words she let herself lean foward off the roof, ready to embrace the painful fall. The wind rushed past her...

"Ever the spitfire I see Cat. Just watch." Rin's body dissapiated like as if he was just an illusion or a spell. He turned to the one who looked like Cat putting his scythe back on his back. "Allow me to properly introduce myself. I am Rin Assura D'monray Blackheart." He said with a bow. His armor looked heavy but he moved in it like it was normal clothing. "Cat I take it you do not remember me." He said with a somber tone in his voice.

Dante shivered, burying his head into Gabriele's shoulder. "Death hurts? It's not like you chose to, dad... she did it. I told you she was bad." His eyes teared up as he gripped the vampire tight from behind. "I miss you, Dad. I don't think I can do it anymore. They're all out to get me. They all want me. Why do I have to keep giving!?" His voice whimpered as he cringed against the vampire. He couldn't take it. It was all building up again. He just wanted to cry.

Cat walked over to Arina, the poor girl. Decapitation wasn't an easy thing to swallow. "No, I remember you. Damn near killed me to remember you though." She spat out lifting the petite woman and carrying her to the couch. "I'd appreciate, as I'm sure we all would, if'n you'd not do that in the building mayhaps it happen again." She stated giving him that look she then went to the kitchen grabbing one of the small towels and wetting it with cool water and bringing it back to place on Arina's forehead. "By the way, our room is 205."

Gabriel

..D...Dad?...Dante is hallucinating that i'm his dad?..,
Gabriel came to a slow stop, and gently took Dante from his back and held him. He felt so fucking sappy right now, but if it'd help the poor guy..
"Son..its okay..."
He nuzzled the top of Dante's head, helding the man close.
"You need to choose what YOU want...No one can make you do something you dont want to...Not if you fight hard enough..."
His eyes opened, looking down at the man who once seemed so strong, and now so frail and helpless.
"Son...I'm sorry that i ever hurt you..."

“No!” Rain responded as she started to fall, using a quick spell to levitate Emeriya back to the roof...facing her. The witch stalked forward with a look of anger and sorrow. “You are not going to hurt yourself tonight…..please….I need you…” She shifted, her independent nature making it painful to admit. Still she simply wrapped herself around the others shoulders. She suspected from the vampirism that it might not kill her … but she needed Eme….right here tonight.





Clean up his mess? That wasn’t a mess it was a person…wasn’t it? She let herself observe a moment, however, aware that sometimes death was necessary. Her emotion demanded she react, her teaching demanding she watch. Still, she took a slight dislike to the man…But she was raised well. She bowed politely, saying only “Pleasure…..though at the moment I can not be sure of that as I would like to be..”

Looking at Cat a moment she raised both eyebrows, her mouth actually forming a gasp of surprise. Yes, that was where she had seen her. In pictures of the half sister…her half sister. She let her gaze wander a moment, seeing the woman she had searched for but now was not so sure what to do. One hand actually briefly trembled, tempted to hug her and yet….

"H-Hurt...?" Dante stared down blankly. His eyes were still wide and paranoid, but he leaned completely into the other's hug. "Fight... fight it..." He cringed suddenly, holding his head. His breathing grew erratic suddenly as pain shot through him. Everything went black and white for a moment before blurring, and finally going brighter than ever. He cried out, shielding his eyes in pain as he fell limp. "I-It hurts! Bright... stop it! Please, stop..."

Rin cringed at the look. He had lead armies against hordes of undead and evil, and yet that look always seemed to kick his ass. "I am sorry Cat. Wait we already have a room here? How long have you been here my dear?" He looked at the other girl. Cat had a sister? Oh great two girls who could give him the death glare as he called it. "So I guess we are sorta related then." He said to the other cat girl and sighed slightly. He had to be on his toes now. "I am sorry we have met on such unsavory terms."

Gabriel

Gabriel held the man tight to him, putting all the energy he could into him, to help him fight it.
"I know it hurts...dont give in...don't let her win.."
He reffered to whoever Dante said was why his father died. Maybe it would give Dante more strength.
"I'll protect you...in the now...I'll protect you...please...open you're eyes..."
He rested his head on Dante's.
"be in the now...be in the now.."




Emeriya

Emeriya was still, feeling nothing...which she noticed was wrong...where was the pain? where was the freedom...where were the answers? She listened to Rain's voice, and felt the embrace. The wonderful scent of her lover filled her body.
"Rai.."
She slowly wrapped her arms around the other's waist...
"I..can't protect you..."
She held the other closed, feeling the tears coming to her eyes.
"..I..c..cant bear to hurt you..."

Dante shook his head as he was told to open his eyes. Why would he!? It was blinding! It hurt! It hurt so much! He buried his face against the other, his breathing growing erratic. "Sh-... she always wins... that's how... women... are..." He opened his mouth to scream as pain shook through him. His body writhed, out of control until the pain stopped cold. He fell limp, shaking and shivering in fear. "They... they always do..."

Gabriel

"Not women...just her...you can fight her...you can be strong...be stronger then i was.."
He pulled back a little to place a hand on the mans face.
"...Don't let her control you like she controled me...don't let her scare you....."

Dante squinted up at the shadowed figure before closing his eyes tight and falling to his knees. Her whimpered and covered his eyes before shaking his head violently. "It never-... they... they are always stronger. I try... I tried so hard. I learned... so much. They're always stronger. I hate this place. I hate magic. I hate freaks. I hate cheap tricks! I wanna go home. I-" His English cut off as he started ranting the same things in Italian. He needed him sister, Saorla, Uriel... he needed somebody.

"How can I be stronger if they have damned genetics over me!?" He grew enraged suddenly but it wore off quickly as he whimpered. "I'm only human..."

"What are you talking about related? I'm an only child remember. My daddy died when I was five, and he had no kids after me. And he had no siblings." She said shaking her head and chastising her husband. "The little girl could have been anyone. I admit, I thought it was strange seeing her in daddy's picture books, but, momma didn't even know her." she went on.

Arina was starting to come to and blinked up to the blond cat girl sitting next to her. She let a small moan escape from a pain that started to form in the back of her head from the fall. She let her hand move up to her head, letting it rest over her eyes. "I may need an asprin.." she let out thinking out loud.

Gabriel

Gabriel could speak for a moment...he just stared...after a while he spoke..
"Better to be human then a monster..."
He was reffering to himself..he hated what he was..the perks were great...but he'd give anything to be what he was..to have his ol life...to have his mother...again..
"We can leave...just you and me..would you like that?..."

Rin shook his head and just bowed. He knew getting in a fight with Cat was a bad thing. "Yes dear whatever you say." He said softly putting his helmet back on to hide his face. He did this alot when he had a face he didn't want her to see. He heared the hiss of the air locking into place. "So does that mean I actually get to share a bed with you again after all this time?" He querried looking at her once again.

Rain sighed as she spoke, putting her head against the other’s shoulder and simply taking comfort from the embrace as she thought. Stroking the other woman’s back she gazed forward into the sky, closing her eyes. “Nobody can protect me sweetheart…” She finally spoke, “Nobody but me. And that’s okay….I’ll stay safe…long as I’m given something to stay safe for.” She said the last rather teasingly, ruffling the other woman’s hair briefly.




Amoni watched a moment, her head slightly bowed as the other spoke. So her father had kept the pictures, something she’d always thought he hadn’t done, but he had never said who she was or spoken of her. For a moment she stayed silent, calculating as her emotions spun and she fought to push them back. No sister…that’s right, she didn’t know her…and perhaps it was best if she did not. So she stayed silent before raising her silver gaze and saying only “It would not seem we are related Sir Blackheart.” She turned then, walking to get herself a glass of water as she suppressed the urge to show sorrow. She had no right to intrude…no…she’d do what she always did, fade to the shadows for the benefit of others.
